• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi

I build 3 seasons photoreal with 3 BMP and another 2 BMP for blendmask
and blendwatermask. (one for winter, one for spring/summer and one for fall)

the BGL file work just fine, all the seasons are shown in the right dates.

the problem starts when I replace my 5 BMP files from 1GB to 1.98GB (30000 X 20000 px).
the BGL file i got contains only the fall season I see fall in all dates.
in my CFG the only chenges is XDIM and YDIM

I dond know what could be the problem... may be size limit of BMP's ?

here is my INF file:

[Destination]

What is the resultant bgl size.

You could convert the sources to TIFF and see if it compiles with that.

The maximum is 2Gb
 
Hi,

I would check the output bgl size as well, if it is over 2 gb it won't work correctly in FS anymore. You can add an option to your inf file to split the area into multiple bgl files based in the terrain LOD system.
